Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell
Automation sales office or online at http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes
some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired
electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety
of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must
satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

Publication 1797-IN533-EN-P - August 2017
About the Power Supply
The power supply is an essential component in the operation of an
intrinsically-safe system. It must isolate the unsafe incoming power from the
control system and limit the available energy to IS-safe levels.
No other power source is needed to operate any components attached to the
FLEX Ex system in the hazardous area. Power for valves, actuators, or
transmitters come from the FLEX Ex modules.
ATTENTION
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as enclosed equipment. It should not
require additional system enclosure when used in locations
consistent with the enclosure type ratings stated in the
Specifications section of this publication. Subsequent sections of
this publication may contain additional information regarding
specific enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product provides,
that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

Publication 1797-IN533-EN-P - August 2017
The 1797-PS1E is an 85…253V AC in/quad-Ex DC out power supply in a
flame-proof enclosure with increased safety input/output terminations. The
85…253V AC gland is an M20 x 1,5 and can accept a cable from 6…12 mm
(0.267…0.472 in.) in diameter. The Ex outputs are M16 x 1,5 and can accept a
cable from 4…8 mm (0.157…0.315 in.) in diameter.
Features include the following:
•85…253V AC supply source
•Four channels, 8.5 W output each channel
•Outputs are IS galvanically isolated from the source
•All channels are independently IS limited
Understand System Planning
Part of system planning is determining what modules are needed for the
application, how many power supplies are needed, how to best partition the
system, and where to locate the system cabinets.
A key task in the development cycle is determining the number of power
supply outputs (thus power supplies) you will need. In the following example,
you will need 11 power outputs if you are using the fiber hub, which requires
8.5 W.
Each power supply has four independent IS-power outputs capable of 8.5 W
each. In the above example, we required 11 IS-power outputs so 3 power
supplies were sufficient.
Modules Requires Modules Requires
Fiber hub 8.5 W Two thermocouple inputs 1.6 W each
Two ControlNet adapters 8.5 W each Two digital outputs 7.5 W each
Two analog inputs 7.5 W each Three NAMUR digital inputs 2.8 W each
Two analog outputs 6.3 W each Two counter inputs 4.25 W each

FLEX Ex 85…253V AC In/Quad-Ex DC Out Power Supply 5
Publication 1797-IN533-EN-P - August 2017
The total number of power supplies needed depends on the modules used
and the total system configuration. The following illustration shows how this
example may be configured.
IMPORTANT
Even though modules may be supplied with power from the same
power-supply output channel, galvanic isolation in the module
provides module-to-module galvanic isolation. Depending upon
the module type, galvanic isolation (channel-to-channel within the
module) may or may not be provided. See the module’s
specifications for more information.

Publication 1797-IN533-EN-P - August 2017
Make certain that you only connect intrinsically-safe power supplies to other
intrinsically-safe system modules or adapters to maintain the integrity of the
intrinsically-safe backplane.
Installation in Zone 1, 22
The 1797-PS1E Series B power supply has a protection factor of IP65. Refer
to the specifications table for the IS module type.
Application
When installing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining devices or device
components of the FLEX Ex system as intrinsically-safe electrical apparatus
in potentially explosive atmospheres according to EN 50020, you must heed
the EC- type examination certificate and the applicable national and local
construction, installation, and operating regulations.
Zone 1
The Power Supply unit can be located in Zone 1. The permissible ambient
temperature of -20…70 °C must not be exceeded.
Zone 22
The housing type of the power supply is applicable for use in Zone 22. It
corresponds with the category 3D acc. to directive 94/9 EC and is marked
with a type label accordingly.
ATTENTION
The power supply cannot be used in an intrinsically safe
environment after its outputs have been exposed to nonintrinsically
safe signals.

FLEX Ex 85…253V AC In/Quad-Ex DC Out Power Supply 7
Publication 1797-IN533-EN-P - August 2017
Installation and Commissioning
The power supply unit can be located in Zones 1, 2, and 22 as stated on its
label. The output circuits are according to the ignition protection class EEx ib
and can be installed in Zones 1, 2, and 22. When installing, you must heed the
EC- type examination certificate (especially the special conditions) and the
applicable national and local construction, installation, and operating
regulations.
The housing (EEx d) must not be opened (screw cover). Connections are
made in the EEx e terminal box.
Install the Power feed lines only in the deenergized state. Also follow the
information on the type label, respectively the covers of the terminals.
You can connect and disconnect the intrinsically-safe output terminals during
operation.
All unused cable glands must be covered by appropriate prototype tested
EEx e lead seals to keep the requirement of IP54.
The cover installed on the nonintrinsically-safe screw terminals
(IP30) may only be removed in the deenergized state and must be remounted
after working on these terminals.
Before closing the cover of the EEx e wiring box, inspect the seal for any
signs of damage. In case of damage, the seal must be replaced by a new seal
that is identical to the damaged seal.
The power supply housing contains two flanges, which can be connected to a
wall or other structural part by means of fixing screws. Select fixing screws
that ensure secure fixing of the power supply. Consider the condition of
vibration of the power supply when making this selection.
On the EEx d housing there is an earthing screw. This screw must be
connected to Earth with a conductor having a minimum of 4 mm2(0.006 in.2)
area. The connection has to be protected against self opening and corrosion.
Corrosion protection can be achieved by using tinned terminal ends.
Before opening the EEx e terminal box (for example, for maintenance
purposes), it must be cleaned of all dust particles to ensure that no dust can
enter the box.

Mount the 1797-PS1E Power Supply
Follow these directions to properly install the 1797-PS1E power supply. Refer
to Installation and Commissioning, page 7, for important precautions and
considerations.
1. Remove the screws on the cover of the power supply EEx e terminal
box to access the input and output terminals.
2. Thread the blue IS-safe output power wiring through the blue IS
compression seals.
3. Connect the blue IS-safe output power wiring to the output terminals
making sure all connections are tight.
These power supply outputs provide the input power to the FLEX Ex
modules.
4. Thread the hazardous incoming power wiring through the black
compression seals.
5. Connect the hazardous incoming power wiring to the input terminals
making sure all connections are tight.
You can daisy chain the hazardous incoming power wiring to further
supplies to simplify system wiring.
ATTENTION
Use star washers and nuts to make sure you have a good electrical
connection. Scrape the paint off the back panel in those areas where
grounding bolts will be located.
ATTENTION
Keep hazardous and IS-safe wiring separated in a suitable
fashion. Do not leave long, excess wiring that could bridge
between the hazardous and safe areas.
